“The kindergarten kids were a great audience to experience the art of dance.”
From the reviews
I do capoeira classes at this facility. The staff that I have interacted with have been friendly. The rooms inside are kept up well. The outside of the structure is a little bit degraded, and the neighborhood isn't great if you go another block or so down the road.
Hill Dance Academy is a beautiful place where black and brown girls not only learn dance, but discover themselves, make lifelong friendships, and grow. My daughter loves HDAT.
The show was excellent. The kindergarten kids were a great audience to experience the art of dance. Fantastic
Great people that runs the place.they gave me the opportunity to drive for them.
Your first ballet class at Hill Dance Academy Theatre (HDAT)
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
